More on the topic of representation in tomodachi life (grabbed from discord cuz I don't wanna retype it sorry):

Like, I was already blown away by the fact that nonbinary was an option at all, let alone that it's actually CALLED that. But the fact that you can make a mii nonbinary, give him he/him pronouns, and he's still nonbinary?? That completely wowed me

Why do y'all have to specify what kind of oc it is? It's really annoying like it's just a fictional oc/ y/n but y'all have to add a "plus size" like why? I don't see the need. You don't have to remind me of my weight even in a fuckin fic

it seems ur panties are in a twist! you can block tags and even block me but you decide to be a cry baby and whine to me abt it. i honestly don't care what you see the need for because your opinion just so happens to be irrelevant to me!! and this is my blog baby! maybe u should invest in a

journal :(( cry over tht book mmkay??

as a plus size woman i write for me and the other women who love the positive representation that's rarely in books or media. go whine to writers who mention how thin their OCS and y/ns are before you bitch to me.

I will NEVER be over the fact, that the game designers made Athena a beautiful black woman. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I just couldn't process it at first. But she's black and she's beautiful!! And then I saw Eurydice (did I spell her name correctly?) And she had an afro!! A real afro!! And all the other POC gods! Are! Beautiful! I love them!! Thank you so much to whoever designed them. I absolutely love them. It makes me so happy to see them

“I think I learned some things about love, too. It doesn’t look the same for everyone. It can come in so many forms. And how can there be anything wrong with a life if it’s spent with a person you love?”

— Anne Shirley-Cuthbert, (Anne With An ‘E’, S2:E7), about Josephine Barry and her wife Gertrude.

“When you have greater diversity behind the scenes, not only do you get more female characters on screen, but you get a different kind of character. You get a more powerful and multi-dimensional female character.”

SKAM (the tv show) has made me unbelievably happy. I’ve never watched anything that I’ve felt so represented in. The way they handle coming out to friends and family, dating, and generally just being in high school as an insecure queer boy is perfect. It felt like it was almost made for me - it mirrored my experiences in so many ways, and made me tear up countless times. I have never reacted to a TV show like I have with that, it was so perfect and made me happy to see an LGBT storyline so well represented and not cliche at all :)

sooooo happy
